Depends what you're interested in really. Next time you're in your LFS can you write down the names of some of the ones that caught your attention?

What doesn't go good with guppies are bettas, as they will attack the guppies finnage. Tiger barbs, and other fish that will nip the fins and generally be a bit too rambunctious. Depending on the substrate you might try a school of some of the smaller (under 2" corys.

How many male & females do you have in there right now? If mixed do you have any plans for the fry?...also planted or not? That'll help us make some suggestions.

I had Neon Tetras for a long time in with my Guppies, and it was honestly quite awesome...The Neons would try and make the guppies school with them. Then the Male guppies would become a bit hysterical with hormones and try to mate with the neons...always interesting to say the least...heidi
